Problem 2.22 PDF

This problem asks to plot the pathline of a particle that starts at (1,1) up to t=1.5 s and compare it to the streamlines at t=0, 1, and 1.5 s. The governing equations for pathlines and streamlines are provided. For the given 2D velocity field, the equations for the pathline are derived as x(t)=e^2t and y(t)=e^(2t+0.4t^2). The equations for the streamlines at different times t are also derived. Finally, a plot is provided that shows the pathline from t=0 to 1.5 s and the streamlines at t=

Problem 2.

22 [Difficulty: 3]

Given: Velocity field

Find: Plot of pathline of particle for t = 0 to 1.5 s that was at point (1,1) at t = 0; compare to streamlines through same
point at the instants t = 0, 1 and 1.5 s

Solution:
dx dy v dy
Governing equations: For pathlines up = vp = For streamlines =
dt dt u dx

Assumption: 2D flow

dx 1 dy 1 1
Hence for pathlines up = = ax a = 2 vp = = b ⋅ y ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t ) b = 2 c = 0.4
dt s dt 2 s
s

dx dy
So, separating variables = a⋅ dt dy = b ⋅ y ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t) ⋅ dt = b ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t) ⋅ dt
x y

ln⎛⎜ ⎞ = a⋅ t ln⎛⎜ ⎞ = b ⋅ ⎛ t + 1 ⋅ c⋅ t2⎞


x y
Integrating x0 = 1 m ⎜ y0 = 1 m

⎛ 1 2⎞
b⋅ ⎜t+ ⋅ c⋅ t
Hence x ( t) = x 0⋅ e
a⋅ t
y ( t) = e ⎝ 2 ⎠

2⋅ t 2⋅ t+ 0.4⋅ t
Using given data x ( t) = e y ( t) = e

v dy b ⋅ y ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t )
For streamlines = =
u dx a⋅ x

dy b ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t )
So, separating variables = ⋅ dx which we can integrate for any given t (t is treated as a constant)
y a⋅ x

ln⎛⎜ ⎞ = b ⋅ ( 1 + c⋅ t) ⋅ ln⎛ x ⎞
y
Hence ⎜x
⎝ y0 ⎠ a ⎝ 0⎠

⋅ ( 1+ c⋅ t)

y = y 0 ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⎞

The solution is
⎝ x0 ⎠
b b b
⋅ ( 1+ c⋅ t) ⋅ ( 1+ c⋅ t) ⋅ ( 1+ c⋅ t)
a a a
y = y 0 ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⎞ t = 1 y = y 0 ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⎞ y = y 0 ⋅ ⎛⎜ ⎞
x x 1.4 x 1.6
For t = 0 = x = x t = 1.5 = x
⎝ x0 ⎠ ⎝ x0 ⎠ ⎝ x0 ⎠
